Spent the second week of our vacation with Doug's folks in Alabama and at Callaway Gardens. Callaway hovers somewhere between an old-fashioned country resort and a nature preserve, which gives an interesting mix. Went hog wild taking close-ups of the very photogenic residents of the Cecile B. Day Butterfly Center (though I wish I knew proper names of any of the critters). Went twice to shows put on by the raptor center, getting up close and personal with an owl and a vulture. Also saw the FSU circus and took time to admireMr. Cason's excellent vegetable garden (since we're into that nowadays).
